The Finn Class is excited to announce the publication of a new book all about the class at the 2012
Olympic Games. Over the course of the Olympics the Finn
class released a series of press releases consisting of
previews, interviews, race reports and wraps, all telling the sailors
stories on and off the water. These press releases have been edited and
compiled
to provide a seamless story of the Finn class event at the Olympics,
together with many great photos from before and during the event. The London 2012 Olympic Sailing
Competition at Weymouth & Portland was a brilliant showcase for the
sport of sailing.
For many the Finn class provided the highlight of the
regatta with Jonas Hogh-Christensen and Ben Ainslie's epic battle –
culminating in Ainslie's record breaking fifth Olympic medal and fourth
consecutive gold – making news across the globe.
The story in this book will go down in
history as one of the defining moments of the 2012 Olympic Games
and also as one of the defining moments in the history of
sailing. Everyone who experienced the power, the emotion and the
excitement of the
moment has something to tell to future generations. Through this book
you can re-live one of the most momentous sailing events of all time. It
is a
finntastic tale.
